Installed EBR Race ECM.....runs like crap, no power...

[iownedu]

I followed the instructions ....took it for a ride and it's gutless now. It also dies at every stop sign. Ideas?
I specified K&N with a Hawk muffler...

[nikfleisch]

Tps reset?

[chelch]

Sounds like a tps reset is needed

[c818919]

What year?

[uly luigi]

either TPS or the learn idle, letting it idle for the full 10 min to learn the engine

[c818919]

Pre 08 you can't turn the throttle to do a tps reset....must be dine by ecmspy....
So, what year?

[iownedu]

Sorry I should have specified. 2009 xb12ss. I did the ten minute idle, the instructions said that's all that's needed on an 09. Is that incorrect?

[iownedu]

I also did the key on and throttle stuff to set the tps. Maybe I did it wrong?

[uly luigi]

I would redo the tps reset, can't hurt, make sure you hold it open/closed for a full count, I have also heard to not let it just snap closed, use a slight pressure on it to make sure it is fully seated closed

[iownedu]

Redid the tps and idled ten minutes. Still gutlessness and dying....

Maybe I got a bad ecm? I could try the stock one again I guess.

[iownedu]

Oh and it idles fine...until I put it in gear.

[uly luigi]

I'm out of ideas, any body else want to chime in?

[freak2180]

call ebr

[nikfleisch]

2nd calling ebr. Maybe they flashed it wrong on accident?

[sparky300]

^Yep and...yep. For the money you spent if I were you I'd make a phone call and verify that the ecm you ordered for your bike is the one you received (year, engine, exhaust, etc)

[buelladdicted]

Had similar problem w/ my 08,sent it back the first time and it was improved but still not right.I called Danny at ebr and discribed the whole scenerio,he was real patient and I sent it back a second time and this time it ran great.One map fits all is hard to do nation wide,theres different altitudes,temps,and motors w/ different amounts of wear.Mine was mostly altitude because I live in Cali and live and do alot of my rideing in the foothills .It seems it was always try ing to lean it self out.I would have been happy w/ a stable idle but it runs stronger all through the tach, so talk to them and they will sort it out and you will be a happy camper.

[iownedu]

Put my factory ecm back in, did the tps reset and ten minute idle. Runs even worse. WTF!! Ran perfect until I swapped ecm's!

[user_deleted]

did you do ANYTHING else other than the ECM swap? anything? and is battery fully charged and all cables clean and tight? just wondering.

[uly luigi]

Has the bike been sitting? Bad gas maybe?

[03Firebolt9R]

Alright.

[iownedu]

Nothing other than ecm swap....been sitting about 3 weeks is all...

[c818919]

Does it pop? Do anything different... Did you have the air cleaner out? Checked for leaks in the intake?

[NwRider]

Might want to try lubing the connectors with dielectric grease and make sure the pins are all in good order.

[iownedu]

It does pop and backfire. I had the air cleaner off awhile back yes. Not sure if I rode it after that. Ill check into that. A leaking air filter wouldnt do anything thought would it? Other than let in unfiltered air to the throttle body?

[sweb]

one plug burned? [confused]
oh no... wait, it "idleing"...
